A unique and poignant wartime memento containing the signatures of 125 airmen who were based at RAF Castletown during World War II is to be featured on a podcast as part of a Highland-wide initiative.
The memento â a tablecloth created by Isobel Custer â was loaned to the Castletown Heritage Society several years ago by her family and is often on view during wartime exhibitions at the groupâs heritage centre at Castlehill.

Beacon of Hope, by Margaret Reid.
Thurso Camera Club s first competition of 2021 featured coastal scenes ranging from weather to wildlife and from surfing to sea-stacks.
Zoom allowed the club to draw upon the skills of accredited judge Steve Kirkby, an experienced photographer based in Hampshire, for its meeting on February 1.
There were 38 submissions on the theme of The Coast, and Steve gave constructive comments on each individual entry which consolidated the general advice he had given at the outset.
